In practical terms of operation, there is no difference. The hash rate is the same. The newer, thinner profile expands the USB hubs you can use, since USB port spacing becomes less of a concern. Also, the newer line offers some different colors. Just do your homework on hashrate difficulty, and be an informed consumer before jumping into these things.

Hello Jane, the difference is simply revision, and in the latest rev. they happened to luck into a few extra MH/s. i own both types, and they perform almost the same. How ever with the latest increase in difficulty earnings have gone down to $0.34 per 5 erupters / 24 hours. Keep that in mind when considering this item.

The other difference would be that it comes with a factory overclock. I can't remember exactly what the difference is, but this model, because of the stock overclock and the ability to overclock due to the upgraded cooler, performs closer to the GTX Titan than it does to the stock 780. I have mine clocked at 1200 MHz, which is something like 350 MHz faster than the stock 780. IMO, it's worth the price difference. Plus, I've had EVGA cards in the past, and they have all performed really well.

bfgminer (all your other setup options here) -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=xCODE ...and substitute "CODE" above with one of the following 4-digit hex codes. See key below: 0981 = 2.0GH/s 0A01 = 2.1GH/s 0A81 = 2.2GH/s 0B01 = 2.3GH/s 0B81 = 2.4GH/s

They should be the same, both have ~330MHash/s and I cant see the difference, except that the other is 2x the price ... I have mine working for about 14 days now and works great....

I do not know, but the miner is working perfect. I never ask about the warranty. I would buy a next one from this supplier anytime and would give him a five star in comparison to what I got from Ebay. THE Machine I bought from EBAY came in shambles and all the blades on top one another the bracket to hold the blades was bent out of shape with no screws. The EBAY machine came half open screws missing on one side of the cove. The cover to hold the blades only had two screws on one side , 5 capacitors on the bottom of the miner and all kinds of problem like it went to the moon and back. That was a five star seller at ebay. Would buy again from this AMAZON seller any time. I do not know, but the miner is working perfect. I never ask about the warranty.

I do not know really the difference between one and the other, probably in the Monster web page you can find more information

Long answer: I was lucky enough to have my USB ports on my desktop pc close to the PC's power supply fan outlet. So it actually blows a continuous stream of "coldish" air on the ASIC miner. So I don't use a separate miner. It's been running 24x7 for about a month without any issues. But it does get hot when running without a fan, and electronics generally don't like getting too hot. So I imagine the life time of the device will be shortened if it's running hot all the time. These devices are quite new and have probably never been CE approved or similar, so basically no one knows for sure. But I've yet to see any reports online about ASIC miners catching fire. That's a good thing. Also a cheap ebay or china USB fan is probably not CE approved either and not built to run 24x7 as is probably just as likely to burn :) Short answer: If you have any kind of circulation and make sure the two miners are not close to each other (causing heat to build up) I'd not be that conserned about a fan. There is a heat block on them. But if you dislike having hot things sticking out of your computer try to give them some kind of cooling.

By your question I can't tell what the 'cheaper one listed by you at this link' actually is...there is no link to it...just a link to Amazon. If you could let me know what that other one was I might be able to explain what differences there are. With that in mind...I bought this one because of the durability of this particular unit. I did some research and this one had a much lower failure rate and is supposed to last much longer than most of the others.

dear Jan, as I see it, there is NO difference what so ever. This oven is wonderful! one tip, whether baking or using convection in oven, this puppy is a bit quick! My banana bread was too brown on top and still gooey in middle.. frozen pizza works amazing! cooks in3/4 the time... hope this helps....thanks, Tim

No. Using one of these is perfectly fine. Some advise: I don't consider these profitable. With increasing difficulty you would be lucky to make enough to cover the $200 initial investment in one year. I just sold one of these on ebay for $150. I would not value them more than $25 with the difficulty trend. If you are looking to make a real investment I would purchase a larger miner or go the scrypt route and snach up some AMD cards.

SHA 265 only ...look to Alpha Tech for a Scrypt mining ASIC ..I'm sure it'll be ready in just two weeks (yes I'm being silly)

According to the website, its just different packaging. The tool is the same in either case, go with whichever is cheaper

This is old technology. Buy the Franklin 710, it is newer tek, I threw out the zircon after testing the Franklin.

It does run as a stand alone, but will require a computer to set up first. I use MultiMiner for other miners, but it will display the S1's status. As far as noise level, I bought replacement fans that were higher flow and low noise. I'm overclocking mine so I use two fans. One fan should be fine if you're not overclocking yours.

The only difference, per Omega, is the auger. The auger on the 8004 and 8006 is apparently stronger. This allows them to extend the warranty from 10 years to 15 years.I own this 8003 and am very happy with it. I don't see the need for the more expensive auger.
